Name meaning and origin
The name Izzat derives from the word izzət (honor, respect, might, exaltedness) in Arabic, is also linked to the root word əziz (dear), and conveys the idea of being valuable and respectable. The word entered the Azerbaijani language through Islamic culture and has been used as a personal name since the Middle Ages.
The word Izzat appears in the Quran several times, for example in the 10th verse of Surah Fatir, where it's stated that all honor belongs to Allah. In Azerbaijan Izzat is used as both a male and a female name, and since it carries the wish of honor and dignity, there's no religious obstacle to using it.
